J^EADY-MADE  dresses  are  now 
a  success— the  troubles  that 
have  arisen  in  the  past  have  all 
been  overcome  and  anyone  of 
ordinary  figure  can  now  be  fitted 
perfectly. 

These  illustrations  are  a  few  of 
many  styles  that  we  have  pleasure 
in  showing. 

If  one  can  be  fitted  in  this  way 
the  saving  in  cost,  between  buying 
material  and  paying  for  making  is 
such  that  no  one  can  afford  to  spend 
time  or  bother  themselves  with  the 
work — beside  paying  more  in  the  end. 

LORD  &  TAYLOR, 

Broadway  &  20th  Street.
